So zst’s last update 3 weeks ago said they’re due to leave the factory this week and 4-6 weeks transit so then once they start appearing in people’s hands say 2-4 weeks so they should be in hand somewhere between the last weeks of July or Aug
Meaning aprox 11 months pre order to delivery if that timeframe is met

Mitch from G/G posted video of Ahmed and Smoke Train arriving to his house. Gotta give him credit on fast turnaround so should be in customers hands within next few weeks

I'm genuinely curious on the reviews for Mitch's line off the card. They look like hand painted resin models to me. Which makes them a custom. Which means I won't buy any. But if people get them and they feel heavier than they look and have clean paint, he's got names I want in this style. The fact he's getting them done so quickly is more of a red flag than it is encouraging, but maybe I'm totally wrong.

Incredible to see Mitch pulling this off. If these figures end up good in-hand, I’ll be ordering more ASAP.

I also thought it would be this side of Christmas, late Oct / Nov time but just going by expectations set 👍 |

We're not going the sketch route. The prototypes haven't been revealed yet, but were approved several months ago and have been quietly in production  |

We had Rich from Action Figure Cellar on the Podcast this week who discussed these figures and even had the prototypes with him which he showed off camera (wasn’t sure how much info he was allowed to share) but the skirts are like a hard rubber and they have white undies (not solid like the Piper Hasbro). They look incredible |

Very similar yes, they looked more like knickers if I’m honest from what I could see. Felt like I should have been paying £2 per minute to view such things |

I'm so curious to see how Ahmed and Smoke Train look in person.
Some recent figures like Mabel look phenomenal, but the early figures left a lot to be desired from the photos i saw. It makes sense as the line is evolving, but I hope Ahmed looks better than in the pics

I’ll try to post pics and everything once I get them. I did see this video just now so it gives us a little more of a real look at them: www.instagram.com/reel/CtfJlc8sCEu/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==Everything about this video makes me uncomfortable by the way lol! I’m expecting the figures to arrive on Saturday but things are a little upside down for me at the moment. My elderly mother is in rough shape at a hospital a few hours away. On top of that, wife’s best friend is coming into town and staying with us. Because of that, I can’t tell yet if I will get a lot of time to myself or if I’ll be overwhelmed trying to take care of everyone. Are there any figures you would like these shown side by side with? I was already planning on doing Papa Shango, Dino, Goldust, and Gangrel just so we have a sampling of size and color. |
